Misleading Title, not enough info about the level of the book,
By Inotherwords (Florida) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Play the Hawaiian Ukulele: 10 Easy Lessons (Paperback)
I am giving this book three stars as a beginner's book, and only one star as being representative of what it's really about. So the average is two stars.
This is NOT a book on playing Hawaiian ukulele music, which is what I thought it would be. It's a beginner's book on playing ukulele in general, the only thing Hawaiian about it is the cover and a few pictures of a Hawaiian woman holding a ukulele. I don't consider including Aloha Oe as one of the selections as making this a book on Hawaiian ukulele. As a beginner's book, it's not bad, but there are better ones out there today that include DVDs, as well as a lot of free online instruction that covers these same basics. I am an intermediate player and I'm disappointed that there wasn't enough information about this book in the description because that would help in clarifying that this is a beginner's book that covers just regular folk songs and basic strums. I thought there would be sections on Hawaiian music (other than just Aloha Oe) and on things like Hawaiian turnarounds, etc. I would only buy this if you are brand new to ukulele and have not played an instrument before. And even then, as I said there are better choices out there. It's also hard to use any book to learn an instrument when you're at a rank beginner's level without having some sort of interactive instruction with a real person who can evaluate your technique and give you feedback.

leave out the Hawaiian part,
This review is from: How to Play the Hawaiian Ukulele: 10 Easy Lessons (Paperback)
the title is kind of misleading - I expected more traditional Hawaiian songs & less "see spot run" type instruction -
